Rebirth of Faith

[hbionic]

Name one solid reason why you continue to support the Eagles and why you haven't jumped ship over the years.

Myself, the Eagles are more like a religion than a sports team. They are a way of life. Even during the 3-13 season recently, I still watched the games. As bad as we are now...we're a whole hell of alot better than we were in that piss hole shteinfarg season.

I wonder if for some though, its just like a bad relationship where they say, "I've invested all this time into it, might as well just stick around". Still, I doubt that there is a team out there that can give us the ups and downs that this team gives us.

Although I'm not on cloud 9 anymore about our team this season, we've been through tougher. It sounds impossible because of the miracles it will take for us to get into the playoffs this season the way we've been playing, but now, instead of expecting playoffs, we really have to farging earn it. It hasn't been like that in a while. I guess that hurts too.

Anyways, we still suck, but go Eagles.

I continue to support them because it's been a part of my life every fall since I was a small boy.   I remember my grandfather taking me to games when I was younger.   No one else in my family liked football and living in the DC area anyone I met was a taterskins fan.  My grandfather used to hold season tickets and we would go to at least 2 or 3 games together every fall.  He is too old now to own season tickets and has long since not had them.  But I have a lot of memories with this team and watching them .  Whether it be from the stands or the comfort of my own living room. 

They may suck sometimes but they can't always be good.  I take solace in the fact that I do root for the Eagles.  And while they've given me no Lombardi to boast or brag about.  They do give me the bonus of rooting with some of the best and most loyal fans in the world.  And I will always take pride in that.

I'm getting all teary eyed and shtein.

What a gay thread. Shocker it's coming from such a fine example of heterosexuality.

Marcus Hayes is a God amongst men.

Always loved 'em...always will. As far as the current state of affairs goes, here's something ancient and wise:

If you realize that all things change,
there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

I have no faith in this team, and yet I feel like I've been kicked in the teeth when they lose. Being a Philly fan rules!

I remember Bobby Hoying being so bad, I thought there was no way Doug Pederson could be worse. 

Extremeskinish, blind homerism, whatever...I just want to think happy thoughts.
